The utmost deliberatlon marked the suicides

The utmost deliberat1On marked the suicides
of Mrs. Payne and her daughter. Whether
either of them was insane or not, they seem TO
have been the victims of melancholy and
morbid fear that they would be sent to an in
sane asylum. The letters which they left
behind furnish no evidence of loss OF reason.
The scrupulous care shown in regard to leaving
debts is touching 1--WE owe no one" was
Endorsed on the receipt for the last months

that has recently occurred in this neighbor-
hood.
1t is gratifying 10 learn FROM VicePresident
Kennedy's statement that the Manhattan Bank
has never wavered in its determination to Sc
cure the punishment of its defaulting teller.
1t did enter into negotiations to adjust its civil
claim against Scott. but it has standing offer
of $40 900 reward for the delivery of the de-
faulter to the criminal authorities. This Is as
il should be. 1t does not rest with a bank, OF
course, to decide whether a dishonest officer
shall or shall not be prosecuted, but virtual
promise of immunity on the restitution OF
stolen property would be an encouragement to
bank robbery.
If Prince Bismarck can accomplish it, Count
Herbert Bismarck is the coming man In Ger
many. The young mans marked lack of abil-
ity and qualifications to succeed his father Is
described in letter from Berlin, which will be
found on the ninth page. In spite OF the fact
that he resembles the Prince only In being
weak and faulty where the elder Bismarck is
conspicuous for strength and commanding abil-
ity, Count Herbert is petted and pushed for
ward, and all that can be done to promote his
fortunes has been done. Bismarck the younger
is described as ambitious, domineering and I'M
scrupulOus. 1t Is not surprising that this causes
an undercurrent of murmuring and some open
talk of favortism.
The need of freproof building for the pre-
seryation of public documents has led to the
building of the new Hall of Records in Brook

and the precautions against fire are thorough.
Now that the quarters of the Surrogate, County
Clerk and Register have been removed from
the Court House needed room will be provided
there for the courts, District-AttOrney, etc.
This improvement Is an excellent one. The
new building does lot appear to bear the marks
of costly job. In this respect Brooklyn is for
tunate. The last structure put up by the city
the Municipal Department Bulding-was
actually finished for the amount of the original

is curious that men who profess the desire 10

THE NEW-YORKS AND THE PENNANT
After each successive victory the New ok
Baseball Club announces anew its detcrmlha-
ton TO win the pennant 1t still has chahcc
to make this promise good, to redeem ltscil
and to carry off the honOrs. No one can ques-
ton the splendid material the club possesses.
Occasionally It's work is simply phenomenal.
Its members have made more individual plays
that arc brilliant alike in their conception ana
execution than the members of any other team
The trouble is that they seem incapable OF
sustaining their good work. Success ratt!es
them and having won two or three games they
get careless and confused, and promptly pro
coed to lose all they have made.
Their contests at Philadelphia have afforded
additional proof of this weakness. 1t is true
that the disability of Keefe and Ewing leaves
them without two of their strongest men, but
even this is no excuse for a record OF eleven
to two in favor of club which, though play
ing a superior game, is by no means equal TO
the NcwYorks. They went to Philadelphia
with the decided advantage they had obtained
in Boston, and should certainly have won
every game they played. Had they done SO
they would now be pressing the Chicagos hard
for the second place instead OF putting their
third rank In great peril
Baseball is a splendid game. To realize its
best opportunities not only are remarkable
physical force and endurance necessary but
q high degree of judgment trained and
ready wit and cool, active and rcsOurccful
intelligence as well If the pcnnant is to come
to this city, where in all equity it should come
and stay, the home team must cultivate It's
mental powers 1t must also keep Its temper
under proper restraint. Such scenes rs oc-
CURED last Monday at Boston tend to dlscrcdlt
the game. 1t needs to be said that the Boston
club was mainly to blame, but wherever the
fault may lie such disturbances should never
be tolerated. Baseball should become %
America what cricket is TO England, ana VIII
when it receives, in addition to It's already
large popular support, the favor OF tho ocso
clements of American society. Every fresh
row on ball field pOstpOncs the day Of this
wider triumph.

Languages, like poets, are born not made. They
grow with the growth of nations that use them'
but are not manufactured in the closet OF any
scholar. The latest attempt to manufacture new
and scientific language, which shall embrace all
the cxccllcnces and omit all the defects OF all
other languages is not likely to be widely accepted,
even If 1t gets more attractive name than Vola-
pul1. The fact is the world has words enough.
What 1t specially needs is not more words, but
mora deeds

Property owners do not seem TO put much faith
In Commissioner Newtons promised improvement
in the pavements. The Mutual Life Insurance
Company has paved the streets surround ng Its
building Mt its own expense, and now the Equita-
bic Is to do the same thing. Some hotel prOpretors
are seeking authority TO do likewise. The smooth
pavcmcnts that being put down are such II
relief from the noise that the movement though
expensive is likely to become popuiar with owners
Of large buildings unless the city does its duty.
Commissioner Newton hopes to get u sufficient
appropriation to contract for q good deal of this
work next year at the ciy's expense and II he
does not succeed it will not be because the work
is not needed.

CHAPTER XII.

Allan had made frequent trips to Bou1-
der and to the places in the vicinity. Upon
one of these visits on a balmy Saturday at
terneon seated side by side, Allan gave ut
ferance to the desire of his heart, and the
agreement was made between them.
Allie had heard and Allan acknowledge
ed he had been a rather wild %youngster,
IL fact since he had resided in Dry Gulch
he had been out with the boys, and on one
orfwo occasions had INDUCED in a rather
pretracted drinking bout with them.
Allie promised to be his wife with one
proviso:
.You must promise me, Allan, never to
take another drink of gyhiskey or anything
intoxicating"
He promised, and the contract was seal
ed with a kiss.
As Allan Blake rode home next day he
built castles as he never before had erect
ed; even went into the details of the home
he would build, made mental provision
for every little convenience which was to
add to the comfort of his loved one; resolv-
ed to work as he had never worked be-
fore.
Witha will he entered into his mining
investment, became economical, even neg
1ectad his assaying business to give per-
sonal attention to his mine which he had
named the ga. F. A." in honor of her who
would become his life partner.

Look Out foe Them.

There are two women in the city who
have recently arrived from Canada on a
tour through the West, "%combining bust
ness with pleasure An instance of their
mode of business was related to a reporter
yesterday, which may save others from
being duped. They have a lot of dress
patterns with them, which they are ex-
hibiting to ladies in this city. One lady
was offered a package of dress goods,
which was supposed to contain sixteen
yards. This the two travelling women told
her was worth 500, but they would let her
have it for $15, which was accepted and
the money paid. A short time afterwards
the goods were measured in one Of our
dry goods stores, when it was found that
there wasn't quite five yards in all the
piece.-Bmte Inter Moantain.

CHAPTER XI.

Oldham and Mrs. Farmer had beer
friends ever since she discovered that he
was q SOL of a former girlhood acquaint-
ance and it had been one Of her hobbies
to have him for a son-in-law. Allie had
been frequently spoken to by her mother
in praise of John Oldham, his careful
ness extolled, his prudence praised and
his farm and money in the bank referred
er any reason to believe that she admired
Oldham, but on the contrary had upon one
occasion said:
job Oldham is a man without a soul;
such Il aaan as that can never be my hus-
band"
Airs. Farmer gently reproved her daugh-
ter tor such an unehristian like remark
and warned her meyer to say any mortal
was sauiIess. The mother albeit a profess
ed christian had a strong vein of manner
In her composition and was much inclined
to be mercenary. Though she never spoke
Of it again to Allie, her plan was to marry
her to John Oldham and then when they
We're settled upon the farm she would
quietly ~insinuate herself into the young
family and assert that directive power
upon the farm of which she believed her
self capable; then Joel Farmer might pros
ecute his mining to his hearts content.
Hetty had numerous admirers, among
whom had been Oldham, but the younger
daughter had once given him sucha spite
full rebuff that he had dropped out of the
list and in his cold distant manner trans
ferred his admiration to the elder and
more sensible sister, who in turn gave him
10 encouragement but treated him with a
reserved and respectful courtesy.

Winter passed, spring and summer had
come and gone, and the autumn leaves
were falling. Allie, without a murniur.
had fulfilled her duties as schoolmarm at
Boulder. Was loved by the children, adj
mired by more than n unmarried man,
and was highly respected and kindly
treated by the parents Of the little ones
under her charge. She had a quiet and
coy home with the Cases and was per-
fectiy reconciled to her surroundings,
finding a hopeful joy in the prospect of
becoming Allan Blake's wife. Allan's
weekly letters were a comfort and a pleas
ure. Her own, maidenly modest, were
written with a feeling of t%rustfulness upon
his strength and wisdom, which, in turn,
gave him renewed vigor to Withstand the
i'll fortune which was daily accommodating
upon him.
Matters were coming to a crisis with
Blake. Credit was not being given him
with so ready a grace as formerly. In
stead of employing two men, he was only
keeping one to help him, and to this man
he owed nearly two months pay. He had
worked like a Trojan, and though the de-
yelopment had Teen thoroughly done, the
vein was no wider nor the pay streak any
richer.
Like many another man in like circum-
stances, he was living on expectations and
hope. His faith did rot lessen nor his
yigor abate. Never accustomed to failure,
he believed it only a matter of time when
he would succeed. Boyd was somewhat
perplexed and not a little annoyed when
Allan applied to him for 4 loan, with
which to pay a portion Of the debt which he
owed his assistant. Boyd spoke very
plainly; told him that his claim was a de-
fusion, that money was scarce, that he
could hardly spare it, "but, Allan, you can
have a hundred just this once"
Blake's pride wa touched, and he was
on the point of refusing the kindly prof
fered loan, when the reassuring tone and
manner Of Boyd forced him to accept.
Yet he could not forget "jast this once
It CALLED him, and though really and hon-
estly thankful to his friend for the favor,
it made him feel a bitterness to which
hitherto he had been a stranger.
His affairs We're now in a most precari-
Gus condition. He commenced to real
ize it.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1885-1890, 1887-04-23
all right, Boyd and so dismissed the idea

all right, Boyd" and so dismissed the idej
of letting up.
Allie kept the secret of her engagement
to Allan from her mother till the winter
vacation, and her when she returned
home she told it.
Mrs. Farmer was displeased and did mo-
fail to so inform her daughter, decrying
Allan's mining venture, and winding up
with a TRADE against all men who followed
mining for a living o a fortune. Allie
heard it all in a silence which was omin-
Gus of her set determination to follow the
promptings of her hearts affections. 1t
was of no use for Mrs. Farmer to cite
John Oldham's circumstances or pecun-
larry advantages, Allies only reply was,
Il love Allan Blake.a Was not Allan
working night and day for the means to
furnish and build a home for her? Was
he not sending her comforting, cheering,
eloquent words by ever letter, and had he
not told her that the day could not be
very far off when, as her husband, he
would be rich and relieve her of the dis
agreeable duties which she was perform
ing. She knew how kind, thoughtful and
liberal he had been to her, and she was
willing to keep On at the little school at
Boulder and wait. Allan had plainly told
her that he would not allow her to toll as
his wife; that his wife must start in life
without that d~rudgery which a poor mans
wife must do; that when he could own
and furnish a nice house and literally
provide for her comfort and ease, then
they would be married.

CHAPTER XII.

Though his business relations with the
town Of Boulder had waned and he did
but little assaying except for himself, he
did not fail to ride over to see Allie On
Saturdays quite often. He kept his prom
Use to her religeously and though the day
was not get fived upon, was still consult
ing with his love regarding household af-
fairs.
Though Allan Blake was an expert in
mining matters, he appeared to be blind
as far as the A. f. B. was concerned and
did not profit by the knowledge which he
clearly and ably gave to Joel Farmer. In
his enthusiastic prosecution of his darling
project he sacrificed everything, even sold
his cabin and assaying implements to a
newcomer, staid up on the mountain at
his claim, cooked for two men who work
ed for him and worked full time with
them besides. His small capital was
.dwindling down SO that he had to seek as
ssistance from his friends to carry ON the
work and pay the men. Blake was honest
and 1t hurt him to be IN debt. One day
the keeper Of the livery stable in Dry
GuIch offered him a good price for his
saddle horse and he sold him, took the
money, paid Boyd and others and with a
small remainder bought provisions and
provisions for his mine. The mine, though
1t showed mineral. did not produce it in
sufficient quantities to pay. His assays
showed pretty well, but like many another
miner he could not for the life of him
take a fair and general sample. His in
fatuation had complete possession of him
and bid fair to bankrupt and ruin him.
Boyd believing that his better judgment
was blinded, advised him TO .slet up a lit
tie"
Blake laughed and said, aIllcome ont

CHAPTER Ky.

Lying on his bunk in the cabin, with
fingers interlaced across his brow, he was
reviewing his situation. Engaged to be
married to a waiting, loving and expectant
young woman, whose qualities were all
that any honest, Well-meaning man could
possibly desire. To her he had promised
a home. Devoid of aught but the pro-
tecting and providing care of a strong arm
and loving heart, How was it to be done.
Where was the money cetaing from: . were
the questions he asked himself. There
came no satisfactory reply to these self
put queries.
His eyes were now open to the situation
he was in. No longer the trusted assayer
of Dry Gulch, no loilg.r the favorite Of
the district, without further credit, with
out the warm sympathy he one had in the
community, What should he do? Was it
right for him to keep alive the spark Of
hope in the breast Of her who was no
longer a girl, but a woman, whose every
year might be bringing her nearer to that
solitary condition commonly called IAN
old maid"? Certainly not. Why should
he in his hopelessly impoverished con.
dition hold out hope to her. He reasoned
that he was doing wrong-wrong to her
he held dearer than all else on earth. He
loved her-yes; but would his love admit

of dragging her down to poverty and sui
fering-no. In duty to her, and in fair
ness to himself, he must free her from the
obligations mutually taken on the hillside
at Boulder. And yet, how could it be
done. What excuse, what pretext would
she hear. He sat with Bonded head for a
long time, then with a wearied and tired
sigh he lay down with his mind fully
made up.
